Mission Take the video

It's a Saturday and Kemi's already at my place. He agreed to help me take a video of Aunty Enita when we see her doing anything unpleasant or alarming to mum.

"Kemi, what should we call our mission?". I asked.

"Why do we need a name? that's not important". He said.

"Well, I just want a name". I pouted. I saw him roll his eyes with the side of my eye.

"Fine, how about, umm, mission get rid of Tega's Aunty" He said.

"No, that's too long".

"Ok, mmm, mission Aunty Enita's no more?"

"No! That's like saying she's dead!" I shouted.

"Okay, I know I've only come up with two so far but I give up. What have you got?" He asked.

"Hmm". I thought for a minute and finally spoke up. "Take the video!" I said, smiling proudly.

"Nooo! That's really bad! Bad name!".

"Whatever, we're going with it".

"So do you have your phone with you?". I asked him. He knows I don't have a phone so he probably brought his.

"Uuh, no. Weren't you listening when I told you my Dad refused to let me bring it with me on the way to your house?". I lauged nervously at his question, scratching the back of my neck.

He did tell me but I wasn't paying much attention. I was writing a song that day he told me about his phone and I gave him my divided attention.

He slapped his palm on his forehead and sighed "You weren't paying attention, were you?". He asked, raising an eyebrow. I moved my head side ways.

"Okay, so what are we gonna use now?". I whined.

"Do you have any cameras?". He asked.

"No, but we could use my mum's phone". I said.

"Are you sure she'll let us use it?". He asked.

"Of course, she's my mum". I smiled.
I went up to my mum who was at the first guest room and told Kemi not to come with me. She was doing something which looked alot like a martial art. It was a terrible site to behold.

My mum is in her late forties but anyone who sees her would think she's in her early thirties; She is light skinned and has dark brown eyes which could easily potray her emotions. Her height with her slim nature adds to her young look. She has stamina and energy but fighting is not her thing.

"Mummy, what are you doing?" I asked trying not to run out of the room. Thank goodness Kemi wasn't there, I do not want to imagine his reaction.

"Oh honey, I'm learning Karate. I heard it's a very popular skill for defense. As a woman I feel the need to learn this". She said focusing on the Karate tutorial video she was watching on her iPad.

"Oh mum, no. Karate isn't for everyone. You're not, umm..". I tried to find the right words to put into my sentence so as not to offend her when I caught her gaze. She glared at me angrily as if aware of what I was thinking.

"I'm doing Karate dear, deal with it". She said sweetly.

"Okay, Mum please can you lend me your phone?". I pleaded.

"Yeah, it's on the table in the living room". She said, eyes glued to her iPad

"Thanks". I giggled, running to the living room to grab mum's phone.

Kemi and I put the phone in camera three hours ago waiting to hear arguing. There was nothing. We eventually got bored and fell asleep. I was sleeping when I heard someone call my name.
